Garbarek's tone can on occasion get edgy enough to peel paint off the walls;
I wondered whether this album would work at all.  Not bad, you say?

I think it's excellent. I don't know much of Garbarek's work at all, but
this is really moody and subdued, with the vocal work carrying all the
energy. Garbarek mainly supplies some pad work and light percussion backing
(tabla and stuff).

You might want to check out "I Took Up the Runes" also.....my favorite of
Garbarek's works.
